Blast carnage at shrine in Iraq


Two female suicide bombers have attacked Baghdad's main Shia shrine, killing at least 60 people and injuring 125 others, officials in Iraq say.The attack happened at the Imam Moussa al-Kadhim shrine in the Kadhimiya area as people gathered for Friday prayers.It comes a day after 84 people were killed in two separate suicide attacks in Baghdad and Baquba.Many victims in Baquba and in Baghdad on Friday were Iranian pilgrims and the violence was condemned in Tehran.Violence fell sharply in the last year and the latest bombing does not change this trend, but it is a worrying development.
